"Ugly Scissors" Fob

Things have been a bit hectic lately, or maybe I should say more hectic than usual. I thought by this point in my life, I would have more free time and life would be less frenetic. Wrong, wrong, wrong! I had planned to add this chart 2 weeks ago and where has the time gone!? This is the chart for the scissor fob pictured in my last post. I've included a different back that can be substituted for the initials that I used.

Life Is Too Short for Ugly Scissors - Fob (pdf here)

And...

Charlene kindly shared photos of her projects using three of my charts, Mermaid Scissors Fob, Seahorse Fob and Life is Too Short for Ugly Scissors. Thanks, Charlene for letting me post them here!

No ugly scissors in the lot! Beautiful stitching and finishing to complement the beautiful scissors! 

Thank You!!!

I so appreciate all the kind comments and emails I've been receiving. It has been so fun doing the drawings - I hope everyone else is enjoying them as well! I have lots of new photos to post - lots of stitchers out there stitching overtime! I love it! Thanks for stopping by for a look, for stitching and sharing photos of my charts, for commenting and for entering the drawings, for emailing with suggestions and corrections, etc., etc. Thanks to you all for taking time from your busy lives to spend a little of it with me!

Missing Bunnies Found!

Well, it seems there were some bunnies missing in action! I had the wrong link for the Roberta's Bunnies Scissors Fob Front so the back chart was linked twice. It is now fixed (I made sure!!) and I apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks so much to Christa from France for letting me know!!! Christa, please email me at: xstch crzy 2 @ yahoo . com (without the spaces, of course.) so I can thank you personally. I'm adding the correct link to this post, also, to make it easier for those who have already tried downloading the first one.




Roberta's Bunnies Scissors Fob Front

Thanks for Asking, But.....

I have been asked if I have a newsletter and I must answer no, I don't. I have thought about having one before but I quickly realized I wouldn't have time to do one and what would I say? I love reading stitchy newsletters, keeping up with what's new, etc., but since I don't have anything to sell, no club or guild news (I don't belong to any) to report and no classes to offer, it wouldn't be much of a newsletter. I'm doing good to just blog every now and then. But, thanks very much for asking because I know it means you are interested and I really appreciate that!


It has also been suggested that I set up an SAL with some of my charts. That's a great idea.....for someone else. The problem is I am a dropout. Not just a dropout but, a serial dropout. In January of this year, I signed up for three (yes, that's 3!) SAL's and I was sooooo excited to do them - I loved the projects and couldn't wait to get going on them! I did actually start stitching on one (yes, that's 1!) of them. You can see the project here and you can see the graduates' projects here. And here is my progress at the beginning of March......




Now, I have made a lot more progress since this photo....but I'm still not finished with this tree!!! The crazy part is, I love stitching on this - the silk feels wonderful and I love the chart but I just never seem to find much time to work on it. And now you see why my designs are small, quick to stitch projects - they have to be for me, the Serial Dropout! However, if someone else would like to set up an SAL using some of my charts, they are more than welcome to do so and I will be glad to add a link and updates here but I can't be trusted to run the show. I do have a new needlework smalls set starting that might work for something like that.......

Many Thanks!!!

I want to take a few moments to thank everyone for their encouraging comments. It is very gratifying to know that so many enjoy the simple charts I post and many take time to stitch them. It is fun for me to see the finished projects scattered around the web on different blogs and photo albums all around the world. There are so many talented designers out there, not just the published ones, but many who generously share their charts on their own blogs and websites as a hobby. There are some great ones out there! Thanks for making my little blog one of your stops!
